Biden makes push to extend Obamacare subsidies after gloomy CBO report

President Biden called on Congress to extend the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, tax credits on Friday after a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report highlighted national healthcare disparities.

“A new report from the Congressional Budget Office underscores just how critical the legislation to bring down health care costs, enacted under my Administration, have been,” Biden said in the statement. 

“Millions of Americans are benefiting from expanded pr...

Responding to the Senate Finance Committee, the CBO found that "not extending the credit will increase the number of people without health insurance and raise the average gross benchmark premiums for plans purchased through the marketplaces."

Kamala Harris and Democrats will pack the Supreme Court if they win

In 2016, countless conservatives skeptical of Donald Trump voted for him anyway because the future of the Supreme Court was on the ballot. Now that concern is even more pressing.

This election, more than Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat is up for grabs — the Supreme Court as we know it is at stake.

At her CNN town hall, Kamala Harris was asked if she supported packing the Supreme Court with multiple additional justices in order to change its ideological composition. Sh...

Harris cynically rediscovers Obamacare a month before Election Day  

Remarkably, before his defenestration, Joe Biden had not made healthcare much of an issue in his re-election campaign. This seemed unusual. It was the first time since Bill Clinton’s 1992 race that the creation of national health insurance hadn’t emerged as a major campaign issue.    

Biden’s relative silence on healthcare was all the more surprising given that he had long made healthcare a signature issue, as he did in the 2020 race. He talked about healthcare in his swan son...
